Last March young man by the name of
Mike McCatfrey, who lives with his folks
about four miles north of this place, had
a dream in which man appeared to him
and told him he the stranger was a
British officer who was killed by the In
dians. He directed Mccartney to go to a
certain stump and dig on certain side %
it, and he would find fortune awaiting
him. On the third night thereafter the
British officer again appeared i'll Mccall
rey's dream, and each succeeding night
until the dream had been six times
repeated. On the first appearance the
dreamer to get Joe Laharge and
Egbert Southworth and 90 with them on
the I'd of. July and dig by the stump de
sCribed McCaffrey communicated with
the parties named, but they failed to put
in an appearance, so he went to the place
accompanied by his two little brothers.
They commenced to dig. When about is
inches below the surface two fiat stones
were encountered. Between these was Il
piece of paper upon which there was writ
ing which could not be readily deciphered.
McCalrey discontinued his labor and

again appeared to McCafirey, this time
arrayed in the uniform Of an English col

brass buttons were just as plain as could
be. The officer was indignant that Nc
Caffrey had not continued the digging,
and commanded him to get Labarge and
Southworth to continue the hunt. This
was done on July II. About four feet be
low the surface was found bottle with
the neck broken Off. In the bottle was a

,CLEvELAND's NARROW ESCAPE.
A serious Accident to the Engine and the
Engineer Killed.

UTICA, July 1.-THE presidential eX
cursion train met with an accident on its
return from Clayton to Alder Creek on
the Rome, WATERFOWL and Ogdensburg
railroad When the accident occurred
the train was going at the rate of nearly
a mile minute. Lowville had been left
Just seven miles behind when several
sharp toots from the whistle were heard.
Superintendent Hammond rushed to the
door and met the fireman with his face
covered with blood from a scalp wound
and his clothes wet through. Tht super
intendent Immediately pulled the brake
cord, but it was found the brakes were set.
Opening the door Of the coach a cloud of
binding steam rushed in, making an exit
from that door impossible. 1t was then
discovered, and not till then, by the eXcur-
sionists that there had been an accident.
The connecting bar to the forward driv-
er on the right hand side of the engine
broke, and the huge piece of steel re
volved through the air with terrible veloc-
ity. 1t struck the ties first, and, hearing
it Reilly evidently OWNED what had oc
Cured, for with one nand he blew the
danger signal and with the other set the
brakes. Then he was thrown violently to
the opposite side of the cab on top of his
fireman, and grabbing him around the
bar meanwhile doing fearful execution on
one side of the cab and with the ties and
ground over which the engine was still
rushing, the valves not having been closed.
A huge cash was made in the boiler,
and the steam escaped in volumes
AS Reilly grasped Perrigne and lifted him
on the tender, be either jumped or fell
from the gangway of the engine. After
collecting himself with a brave effort, and
noticing that though the brakes We're Oh
and the train was still moving, Perrigne
FASTENED back in the cab in the midst of
the sitting steam and closed the throttle.
The train then soon came to standstill.
The president took the matter very
calmly, and said he thought there was
something serious III the matter as he saw
the cloud of steam. When the express
arrived at the scene the presidents coach
was transferred to it, and the disabled
locomotive left at Glendale, which was
but short distance south. The men
sent back reported finding the body of
Engineer Reilly on the left hand side of
the track

The starlit evenings of July will be full
of beauty for those who delight to study
the wonders of the heavens. The peerless
Venus, fairest of the stars, will reach her
greatest distance eastward from the sun,
while she shines like young moon in the
glowing west. The lordly Jupiter will
look down from the meridian at sunset
and tread with starry feet his western path
until at midnight he sinks below the
horizon. The ring-girdled Saturn, hidden
from mortal sight, will pass behind the
sun and commence his course as morning
star. Mercury, on winged feet, will, like
Venus, reach his eastern limit, and with
hurrying pace, pass between us and the
sun to join the choir of morning stars in
heavenly harmony. These are the move
ments Of some of our brother worlds,
members like ourselves of the suns fami-
ly. They are but notes in the sunbeam,
grains of sand on the seashore, when we
compare them with the immensely of the
material universe, as gloriously pictured
in the suns of space that track their shin
ing way in myriad hosts over the broad
concave of the heavens. Studies OF the
planets forever on the move, and studies
of the stars so fixed and immutable can
not help ennobling and uplifting the soul.

ANNEXATION TO THE DOMINION.
Sir Alexander Campbell on an Important
Mission to newfoundland.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 15,-Sir Alexander
Campbell has left for Newfoundland Oh
an important mission which is understood
to be in connection with the proposed an
neXation of that colony to the Dominion.
Since the disallowance of the last bill
passed by the Legislature of that colony
by the British government, which was in
tended to divest the fishermen of France
of certain rights vested in them by treaty,
there has been a growing tendency toward
the confederation of Newfoundland with
other provinces, and, as far as it is al the
moment possible to ascertain, Sir AleXan-
der visits Newfoundland, not for the pur-
pose of advocating imperial federation, as
has been alleged, but, at the solicitation
of the premier of Newfoundland, to con
slider the question and terms upon which
Newfoundland will be admitted into the
union

KING KALAKAUA's, PERIL.
The Islanders Aroused and n Great Re
bellion Imminent.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
dated Honololu, July 5, says The condi-
ton of affairs is most extraordinary and
contradictory No one knows what an
hour NAV bring forth, or whether the &C
ton of Thursday, June 30, will end in a
CufTaw or civil war. The town may be
in the hands of the people, but the king is
certainly king STILL though he may not be
to morrow.
The Tribune has advices ten hours
later than the above. The steamer Aus
tralia sailed on the afternoon of July 5
from Honolulu, and at that time the
streets were full of excited people. The
rifles had Just been called out, and it was
said that if the king did not agree to sign
the new constitution, which had been
prepared, there would be bloodshed.
Everything was quiet until the morning
of July 5, when the soldiers were called
out. News of this action spread through
the town like wild fire, and when the
steamer sailed it looked as though seri-
Gus conflict might take place before the
day ended. The general report was that
the king would refuse to sign the con
stitution and would defend himself in the
palace until the 9th, when three British
and one French men-of-war were expect
ed in Honolulu. The king then intended
to place himself under the protection of
the British.
The Hawaiian Bulletin says: "The
treasury is empty and there is only the
balance of the lost loan remittance avail
able for any purpose. The government
has received in two installmeuts from
London via San Francisco 1904, 900, but
it is paying interest on 100000; while
the manipuators of the loan have been
holding the balance without reference to
the loan act. Such condition of things
is intolcrable. All the firearms and am
| munition consigned to the late govern
ment have been removed to the govern
ment building and placed under military
guard.

EvER-ACTIVE EDISON.
His Ingenious Contrivance for Sending
Messages at Sea.

Thomas A. Edison is buying electrical
apparatus for his laboratory at Orange,
n. j. He says he has spent over 81 200, 600 in
his experiments. The experiments with
latest discovery, by which messages can
be transmitted from ship to ship by means
of steam whistles operated by keys so far
have been confined to the waters of the
Caloosahatchie, where he has conveyed
Ineligible messages one mile. Divers in
the ocean have heard the swish of a
steamers wheels Is miles away. Mr.. Edi-
son thinks he can transmit his message
from ship to ship at least seven miles.
He purposes to have the large ocean
steamers equipped with steam whistles
and transmtters. Under the water line
of each steamer will be sounder connect
ed with the captains cabin by transmit
ting wire through atube. When the cap
tain of one vessel wants to signal another,
he will turn the steam on his whistle,
manipulate the keys and send the message
out into the waves. This sound will pass
to the sounder of any vessel within reach.
When the sound wave strikes the sounder
the message will run over the wire to the
captains cabin and ring an electrical bell.
An attendant will then take down the
message.

CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
Details of an Interesting Operation Per.
formed on a Chicago Man.

formed on Chicago Man.
John Kellerher of Chicago ran rusty
nail into his foot an inch back of his big
toe and lockjaw set in. He was put under
the influence of ether and when the
sponge was first applied to his nose fierce
muscular commissions took place. He
jumped from the operating slab and made
4 mad rush for the window. His jaws
were set, his eyes protruGed and he fought
four men with trenzied strength. At the
second attempt the anTSthetlc was ap-
piled with success, and an inciSion tour
inches long and three inches deep was
made | "a inches behind the hip bone. The
sciatic nerve was exposed A strong me
tallic sound was passed beneath the nerve
and it was stretched downward from the
spinal cord with pressure of l15 pounds.
The cash was then dressed with iOdoform
and antiseptics and sewed up. An incis-
ion three inches long was next made in
the groin, the knife cutting downward
past the femOral artery until the crural
nerve was exposed. Here the sound was
again used and the nerve drawn down
ward from the spinal cord with pressure
of 50 pounds. This mode of treatment
for lock jaw is new one and was first
successfully attempted in the European
medical colleges six months ago. The
case of Kelleher is probably the first in
the West. The two nerves treated are
those supplying locomotion and sensa-
ton from the nerve centre to the seat of
the wound. The stretching was done to
destroy the current which conducted SEN
sation from the scar in The left foot pro
duced by the nail to the base of the brain.
Also to prevent the conveyance of the
current from the pyHmic foot to the brain.
The case is being watched with great in
